Steven is a Developer born and raised in Palmer, Alaska, with a short stint in Portland where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Web Design &amp; Interactive Media from the Art Institute of Portland. In the span of Steven’s young career, he has already developed and maintained websites for many prestigious Higher Education institutions such as Phoenix College, the Maricopa Colleges and has contributed his talents to companies such as Scholastic, Exxon Mobil, and Alaska’s own KTVA.



Steven primarily focuses on Drupal &amp; WordPress development. When he isn’t working on client work, he is constantly trying to improve his workflow &amp; skills while contributing to his open-source projects or others. If you happen to catch Steven away from his computer he is more than likely enjoying a fine cold beverage or riding dirt bikes in the Alaskan summer sun.

Rory holds a bachelor of science from Franklin University, majoring in business administration, management &amp; leadership. Before working for Alopex, he worked for the Department of Labor at the State of Alaska. Rory&#8217;s favorite video game of all time is Elden Ring.

A Chicago-loving Indiana native, Brad is as comfortable plotting a brand’s next big leap as he is plotting a route north — once driving his RV all the way to Deadhorse, Alaska. When he isn’t fueling up with his daily coffees or serving as chief dog walker to his Euro hound LuKas, he’s a proud grandfather and a three-chord guitar player.

Steven Chafin is the architect behind the numbers. As our Data Strategist, his focus is entirely on data — specifically, how to connect, measure, and leverage it to give clients a crystal-clear view of their marketing performance.



Before shifting his focus exclusively to data and analytics, Steven spent over five years building incredibly successful Alopex campaigns. He has a proven track record of architecting strategies that consistently achieve Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) well above local and industry standards. Today, he uses that deep understanding of campaign mechanics to engineer better tracking. He specializes in complex API integrations and developing top-tier reporting systems so clients always know exactly what is driving their growth.



Certified in nearly every relevant data and measurement tool in the industry, Steven takes the guesswork out of digital marketing. He doesn&#8217;t just collect data; he organizes it into actionable insights that power real business results.



Born and raised in the island community of Wrangell, Alaska, Steven brings a trademark Southeast Alaskan resourcefulness to his work. When he’s stepping away from the dashboards, he’s out enjoying the rugged Alaskan lifestyle that shaped him.

Dina’s goal is simple: to define and execute holistic marketing solutions that yield real results for her clients.



Before stepping into performance-based digital marketing, she spent her early career as a U.S. Naval Aviation Electronics Technician, tracking magnetic anomalies in Hawaii and Japan. She later brought that same talent for troubleshooting to the demanding environments of Alaska’s North Slope. In 2021, Dina transitioned into software engineering, a move that perfectly positioned her for her current role. Today, she blends her analytical background with a deep expertise in Alopex, actively leveraging the platform to ensure her clients&#8217; marketing infrastructures are set up for lasting success.



What truly sets Dina apart, though, is how she works. She is wildly proactive—often solving problems before clients even realize they exist—and is widely known as one of the kindest, most supportive people you will ever meet.



Dina lives in Palmer and has more cumulative experience of Alaska&#8217;s adventures than all of the Alopex team combined.

Mikalyn Rousculp is a Content Strategist and resident Photographer at Alopex. She works across campaign messaging, content strategy, and visual storytelling, bringing clarity, warmth, and a human point of view to the brands she supports.



With a bachelor’s degree in Communications from BYU-Idaho, an emphasis in Advertising, and minors in both Graphic Design and Photography, Mikalyn brings both strategy and creative instinct to her work. She’s especially interested in the places where strong messaging and thoughtful visuals come together to make a brand feel personal and authentic.



In addition to her work at Alopex, Mikalyn has owned and operated her own photography business for more than 10 years. Her photography work is rooted in honest, emotional storytelling, which also shapes the way she approaches brand messaging.



Born and raised in Alaska, Mikalyn is married to Joel, and together they are raising four children and two dogs. In typical eldest daughter fashion, she rarely sits still. Outside of work, she co-owns an interior design business, is building a home with her husband, and grows a large vegetable garden. You can often find her listening to early 2000s pop-punk music and true crime podcasts while fueling up with a Dr. Pepper.

For many organizations, Kaleb is the first introduction to Alopex—and often the beginning of a conversation about what&#8217;s possible when data, technology, and strategy work together.



Kaleb Demientieff is a Doyon shareholder, born-and-raised Alaskan, Marine Corps veteran, and former EMT. Throughout his career, he has been drawn to one thing: solving problems.



At Alopex Interaction Design, Kaleb works with organizations to identify operational, marketing, and technology challenges before connecting them with the right experts on the Alopex team. His background in systems integration, automation, and process improvement allows him to quickly identify where businesses are losing time, missing opportunities, or working around problems that should have been solved long ago.



He works closely with Alopex&#8217;s creative, development, and data teams to help organizations make better use of technology, improve visibility into performance, and build systems that support long-term growth.



Outside of work, Kaleb spends his time enjoying the Alaska lifestyle he grew up with. His connection to Alaska&#8217;s communities, businesses, and organizations gives him a practical understanding of the challenges and opportunities unique to the state.

Outside of work, Chelsea teaches yoga, raises two daughters, and manages what can only be described as a small wildlife reserve, complete with chickens, dogs, a cat, and a rabbit named Cuddleroo. Calm under pressure and focused when it counts, she adds a grounded, get-it-done energy to the Alopex team.
